What You'll Do
As a Manager - BCG Vantage on the Topic Activation path, jointly aligned to BCG's Consumer and Operations Practice Areas, you will be a senior content expert in AI-enabled Consumer Products Operations (CPG Ops), combining deep end-to-end supply chain expertise with practical AI transformation experience. The role will focus on helping BCG teams and clients identify, shape and deliver AI-enabled transformation across the CPG value chain. You will bring strong CPG Ops expertise alongside practical understanding of AI, advanced analytics, GenAI and emerging agentic approaches, translating operational challenges into high-value solutions that can be implemented and scaled.
You will partner with case and proposal teams across the AI transformation journey - from diagnosing operational value pools and prioritizing use cases, through business case and solution design, data and technology requirements and implementation roadmaps, to process redesign, adoption, scaling and value realization. You will serve as a thought partner to senior stakeholders, linking AI directly to measurable operational outcomes.
You will also lead development of CPG Ops AI intellectual property and knowledge assets, including diagnostics, benchmarks, use-case libraries, tools and reusable client materials. You will contribute to commercialization through proposals, client workshops and go-to-market efforts, and may coach and line-manage junior colleagues, supporting their development and delivery.
We are looking for a CPG Ops leader for whom digital and AI-enabled transformation has been a substantial part of recent experience, not simply an adjacent capability. The candidate should combine deep supply chain expertise with a strong track record of shaping and implementing AI-enabled Operations solutions. Relevant CPG Ops depth may include supply chain strategy and operating model, planning, inventory optimization, network and logistics, manufacturing, cost and productivity, and end-to-end transformation. AI experience should extend beyond strategy or experimentation to delivery in real operational environments - for example advanced analytics and predictive AI, GenAI, copilots or agentic workflows. Experience conducting CPG supply chain benchmarks - including KPI definition, peer selection, data normalization, performance gap assessment and translation into improvement levers - is an added advantage.
